            Bug ID: 221602
           Summary: security/sshguard: configuration inconvenience wrt
                    blacklisting

The sshguard rc-script supplied with the FreeBSD port always sets the
commandline parameter for blacklisting.  This means that any blacklist
configuration in sshguard.conf will never be used.

So, if you want to tweak the blacklisting, you need to do that in rc.conf, =
and
since you anyway need to edit sshguard.conf to set the backend, it means th=
at
you have to configure sshguard in two places.  I find that inconvenient.

I therefore propose that the port removes the default setting of
sshguard_blacklist from the rc.d script, and changes the default in
sshguard.conf instead!

(As this is a simple change, I didn't attach a patch - I would be happy to
create one if needed!)
